I’ve smelted this type of ore. The best way to deal with it is to roast it so it’s easy to crush, crush it, and use a flux like Chapmans. It runs very thick so adding a thinner will help. Use lead instead of bismuth. I’ve had buttons disappear into the cupel right before my eyes because of the way the ore reacts to bismuth.

If you want someone else to smelt it for you I would recommend calling a metallurgical lab in your area. They can crush and smelt this type of ore.

Welcome to us.
So no assay or any other identification of the ore or its content?
Seriously:oops:
